Private Put In Fees On Private Property.

[cwc87]

I have paid for putting in my canoe, bass boat, kayak all over Missouri. I think the most was paying $10 dollars. I have property on all four sides of a river bridge on a popular float stream. I charge $5 per craft and $5 if leaving a vehicle parked. Now, I do give breaks if there is a trailer load of say 4 kayaks or canoes. I get alot of uneasy looks from people paying to do this. So, if you had to pay what is your OPINION?

It's your property. You can charge whatever you want.

That said, I think $5 a boat should cover leaving a vehicle there as well, but hey that;s just me.

$10 is extremely fair for just putting in a boat.

$5 is very reasonable, I would probably rather pay to go on private property than a remote public ramp. Maybe it will keep the riff raff out.

Seems fine to me. I used to pay $1, when $1 was worth something, just to drive through the gate at Asher's Cane Bottom.

I just wish I were where I could charge for creek access. We've already moved the fence where people can park but that doesn't keep them from tearing down the fences.

River pimp with a furry hat and a bad case of stink eye guilt affectin the posture of your swing low, thats what I think.

$5 to park & $5 to launch...is a bunch of BS........I wont pay...and I never have ;>)!...I think your operation sucks the life out of that crick.......Wadda ya launch...5-800 boats on a Saturday?.....$40 a pop, 10-12 weekends a year, plus camping, beer, & charcoal....Concenrate on that..

Sell a couple more 30 packs and just leave the do it yourselfers alone...Heck, I might even stop and split a 30 pack with you......provided that it was fairly priced. Cheers.

That is the beauty of this country, there are still places where someone with private land can do what they want. I think $5 to park is a great deal, I pay $10 to park on crooked creek and its still a great deal.

Honestly?

I won't pay for access to something I already own.

But knowing how some folks treat public accesses, I can completely understand why a landowner would want to regulate who's on their property.

Which portion do you own? If he owns the land at all access points I see an issue with you owning it too
